yah, I also think sometimes people aren't sure what exact level of feedback they are looking for so the basic-mild-intensive acts as a barrier, not as a tool
I wanted everyone else to chime in first but essentially, I think what people want is:
- A forum for feedback
- A forum for non feedback
And for the feedback forum it should always be understood that it is to the best of the person's abilities (some people probably don't feedback in intense because they are worried they don't have the level of feedback to offer)
What do you think?
also, I am not even talking about the newbs - they follow the general intent the most. Long time members always end up just posting in Misc and then when I ask if they want feedback they say yes.
any. ????
